  I am new to COM so I will try to ask this question as

  clear as possible.

  I created an ActiveX DLL in VB 6. Then created an

  installation program with VB Installer. Then ran

  installation program on Web Server. Then without going

  into Component Services and creating a new application, I

  just ran my ASP application and it works.

  In the literature I've read it stated that I would need

  to create an empty application, point it to the newly

  installed component, etc. What's the deal? What would

  be the benefit of creating the new application in

  Component Services if it works without it?

  Thanks in advance for any help yoiu can provide.

  If it is part of transaction (use MSDTC). Then the literature applies.
